Obesity costs our health care system and employers an additional $150 billion dollars per year. Obesity and the associated co-morbidities have a direct effect on the workplace due to:

Lost productivity

Higher insurance premiums

Increased absenteeism

Compromised wages

Increased Workers Comp filings

More prone to injury and illness

Memory loss

Lower employee moral

Slower work pace

Why offer a Corporate Wellness Program?

Offering a Corporate Wellness Program for employees shows that their employer cares about their health and well-being.

The Corporate Wellness Program can be offered as a health benefit to employees.

Regardless of what program is chosen, employers can save thousands of dollars with a leaner, more efficient workforce.

There is a significant sense of appreciation toward the source of a person’s weight loss success. This leads to employee loyalty, less turnover, and lower overall costs.

A Corporate Wellness Program generates a sense of camaraderie in the office as those participating will be able to use others as a support mechanism.

Corporate Wellness leads to healthier, happier, employees who are more productive.

Why partner with Weight Wellness Center?

We focus on education, motivation, and habit change and teach our clients how to eat to be healthier for life.

Our program is based on healthy, real food options purchased from the supermarket, and supplemented with proprietary weight loss aids (optional).

The WWC weight loss program delivers a targeted approach to fat burning resulting in measurable progress, so your employees will reach their goal weight sooner.

Our emphasis is on keeping the weight off. We help customers break their bad eating habits and lose weight for the last time!

OBESITY: A PERVASIVE PROBLEM AND A GROWING ONE

2 out of 3 people in the U.S. are overweight; 1 out of 3 are obese¹. Obesity related illness costs our health care system and employers $190 billion per year². Since 1980, obesity rates in the U.S. have doubled³

Obesity and the associated comorbidities have a direct effect on the workplace by:

Decreasing employee productivity. It affects workers’ ability to work at 100% productivity levels, which resulted in costs of $30 billion for US companies last year (based on an estimate of the very obese losing one month of productive work per year, costing employers an average of $3,792 per very obese male worker and $3,037 per female) ⁶

Causing employees to work at a slower pace

Increasing absenteeism. Obesity-related absenteeism costs US employers alone as much as $6.4 billion a year⁷

MOST OBESE MEN TAKE 5.9 MORE SICK DAYS A YEAR, & MOST OBESE WOMEN TAKE 9.4 MORE SICK DAYS A YEAR

A study from 2001 to 2007 showed that obese employees cost their employer almost $600 per year more than employees with other unhealthy habits, such as smoking ($1,850 vs $1,275). Employees who were termed morbidly obese (i.e. 100lb+ overweight) cost their employer, on average, $5,500 more than their non-obese peers⁸

EMPLOYERS CAN SAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WITH A LEANER,

MORE EFFICIENT WORKFORCE

A March 2012 paper by researchers at the Mayo Clinic said that while smoking could add about 20% a year to medical costs, morbid obesity increased the bill by 50% per year. The effects on the bottom line are pushing many employers to make real investments in workplace wellness programs…some of the annual costs could be recouped in lower medical and absenteeism costs…a 10% subsidy can break even if employees lose 3-5% of their weight.⁹
